It is a very sad day in the Koehler house today. This morning we found Lucy, our 9 1/2 year basset dead in the back yard. She was a full blooded basset which has always had health issues. We aren't sure what happened but we let her out in the middle of the night to come back in the doggy door on the back porch. We have a fenced back yard. It looked like she had just went to sleep. This has been a very hard day for Bonnie and I. We know she is in a better place and not in pain. We will miss you so bad.If some of the photos are blurry, it is because Lucy is scared of camera and would run when you pointed one at her. I'm amazed that I found as many photos as I did.
